Congress passing the Taft-Hartley act and then overriding Truman's veto of it to enact laws to cripple unions (which made important union activities illegal, like solidarity strikes, jurisdictional strikes, and mass picketing) and basically completely fucked up unions, before Reagan went ahead and fucked them up even more than previously thought possible again
McCarthyism
Citizens United v. FEC
*Not jailing all politicians involved in January 6th attempted coup
15 could ultimately end up giving Biden the presidency, because it likely ended up killing more conservative voters.
You missed Wilson.
Created Wilsonian doctrine that led to forever wars
Segregated the federal government.
Wrote Southern Revisionism
Fostered the second founding of the KKK
Erected a bunch of statues of traitors that specifically said to never erect statues of them.
Probably caused Lenin, and Stalin thereby causing Hitler and WWII plus a host of downstream knock-on effects such as The Cold War and the demonization of socialism and communism in the US.
Robbed us of Teddy's third and fourth terms in office.
Really, the Louisiana Purchase is the first thing you believe the US did wrong 😂.
Yes.
Louisiana purchase was 1803, In 1619 ish slaves arrive in Virginia. Read a book you fucking absolute clown.
That's the British!
And what did the "Americans" do in 1776? Did they send all the slaves back to England? Did they Declare them free men? Oh ok, Shut the fuck up.
Listen here, seat-sniffer. The list is regarding pro-active decisions that went wrong. Otherwise you could sit here all day listing off everything from not immediately allowing women's suffrage to banning child marriages.
If you would take a break from huffing paint thinner and think it over, you would see my point about the Louisiana Purchase being a mistake is also because it was about the expansion of slavery. No longer could they say it was something existing already that they were burdened with, but an active choice they decided to lean into.
Now, please don't take my words too harshly. I know people like you will spiral into months long depression when they realize their mothers drank while they were in the womb and their dad's dropped them on their heads while reaching for another handful stale Doritos. It's a tough one-two combo to overcome, but you're doing your best and we all appreciate that 🙏 💪
I'm not reading all your Canadian syrup mush brain words. Go watch a hockey game, it is clear to me you have taken a few pucks to the head. Your wrong and your just using cunt logic.
When you want to come off like you're too good to even care about the other person's reply, don't do it in a way that proves you got so mad you had to go to their profile and read through their comment history ;)
You wish I cared. Shouldn't you be crying while listening to BBL Drizzle?
Good thing we have this expert history book reader to tell us that the first thing the UNITED STATES did wrong was import slaves into the ENGLISH COLONY of Virginia in 1619
Yes it predates the country and continues from day 1. You win such a big skull you must have 1776 brain cells.
Yes it predates the country
It seems you have read a book in the last 2 hours, I'm glad we're in agreement that it doesn't involve the US then
I'm not in the business of arguing with dumb fucks. Clearly when they declared indepence from England they could have freed the slaves or you know sent them back to England, because you think it was the king who owned the slaves. Do you understand or should I draw you a picture with crayon?
So, when are you getting involved into politics and changing things? I swear, some of you make it sound like you know better than all of our political leaders throughout history... it makes you wonder, with all these leaders making these "horrible" decisions, why is the US still one of the strongest countries in the world, and people are risking their lives to get here?
Let's try to make a list of where America went wrong
The Louisiana Purchase: turned the nation into an expansionist empire.
Andrew Jackson ignoring the rule of law so he could genocide the natives
Lincoln keeping Johnson as his VP while at war with the south.
Ending reconstruction early
FDR not hanging the conspirators in the business plot
Nixon using the Southern Strategy to win his election
Ford pardoning Nixon
Everything Ronald Reagan did
Ruby Ridge, Waco, and NAFTA radicalization of rural Americans
Supreme Court awards GWB the presidency
The Iraq War
Unregulated banks allowed to crash the global economy
Limited US involvement in the Arab Spring fails to capitalize on popular movement, Syrian refugee crisis sends far right into overdrive
Allowing the host of celebrity apprentice to be President
Ignoring the COVID pandemic until it's too late then not locking down hard enough.
Supporting Israeli genocide in Gaza
You forgot repealing the fairness doctrine.
Covered under #8!
Right you are, Ken.
Clinton's telecom act did more damage to public knowledge and information than the fairness doctrine
Congress passing the Taft-Hartley act and then overriding Truman's veto of it to enact laws to cripple unions (which made important union activities illegal, like solidarity strikes, jurisdictional strikes, and mass picketing) and basically completely fucked up unions, before Reagan went ahead and fucked them up even more than previously thought possible again
